摘要

Background The concept Health related Quality of life ( HRQOL ) is increasingly recognized as an important health outcome measure in clinical and research fields. The present study attempted to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Sinhala version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory ? 4.0 (PedsQL? 4.0) Generic Core Scales among adolescents in Sri Lanka. Methods The original US PedsQL? was translated into Sinhala and conceptually validated according to international guidelines. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 142 healthy school going adolescents (12-14 years), their parents (n?=?120) and a group of adolescents with asthma who attended asthma clinics (n?=?115). Reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha and validity by examining scale structure, exploring inter-scale correlations and comparing across known groups (healthy vs. chronically ill). Results The PedsQL? Sinhala version was found to be acceptable with minimal missing responses. All scales demonstrated satisfactory reliability. Cronbach’s alpha for the total scale scores was 0.85 for adolescent self-report while for the parent proxy-report for the healthy group it was 0.86. No floor effects were observed. Ceiling effects were noticed in self-report and parent proxy-report for the healthy group. Overall results of the multi trait scaling analysis confirmed the scale structure with 74% item-convergent validity, 88% item-discriminant validity and an overall scaling success of 72%. Moderate to high correlations were shown among the domains of teen self-report (Spearman rho?=?.37-.54) and between teen self-report and parent proxy-reports (Spearman rho?=?.41-.57). The PedsQL? tool was able to discriminate between the quality of life in healthy adolescents and adolescents with asthma. Conclusion The findings support the reliability and validity of the Sinhala version of the PedsQL? 4.0 Generic Core Scales as a generic instrument to measure HRQOL among early adolescents in Sri Lanka in a population setting.
